A low-born healer flees an emperor cursed to die whenever he loves her.
Grey-winged Luna pulls the dying Ragnar from death's edge, only for a time rift to erase ten years from the world while her body stays frozen. She reemerges to find the boy she rescued now commands an empire and has spent the decade hunting her. A brutal curse binds him: each surge of affection carves years from his lifespan. Knowing his devotion will kill him, Luna chooses to vanish, yet Ragnar decides death is preferable to losing her again.
